Notes
Egyptian walking onion (Allium proliferum) is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall and bears white flowers in late spring and early summer.
Pairs well with Lime basil, Chicory, and Victoria rhubarb.
